Then, on top of it, you took a hostage AND shot a Juvey-cop with his own tranq gun. ...He's the Akron AWOL?!

So is darkness better than a heartfelt lie?
Neal Shusterman
You have robbed me, and everyone here, of their purpose. That's not salvation, that's damnation.
Neal Shusterman
Either things happen for a reason, or they happen for no reason at all. Either one's life is a thread in a glorious tapestry or humanity is just a hopelessly tangled knot.
